Minegishi Minami (Miichan) / 1st Generation

More of Miichan in Hawaii(video in link)

And now it made me remember the trauma of the yoga mission in Grand Theft Auto V, namaste!

 

You can hear Miichan, and the text says "Minegishi mama is making a fuss"

btw, they made Miichan's text orange ... not sure if that intentional as that's Tetsuya's colour

and yeah, it was a really pretty dress


In a way those 13th and 14th gen members of Minegishi Team 4 saved Miichan as they gave her purpose at a point of her career where she kinda lost her goals.

 

One of the girls on All Night Fujiko started crying, so Miichan went over to her during the commercial break

I guess being a coach/mentor is Miichan's second nature by now
(I mentioned before Miichan wanted to be a kindergarten teacher when she was little, mentoring Team 4, this .. it's all in line with that, even though the girls are older)

otoh ... Miichan went studying for her license at Miki-chan's ....
she posted some pics of her with twin tails that Miki-chan took in the fanclub, telling us not to post them publicly

I think it's for her driver's license ... but I kinda thought Miichan already had one, she was president of the AKB driving club after all?

Living in Tokyo having a driver's license is not really that necessary imho, Tokyo has awesome public transport and you can always grab a cab.
And if it's for traveling to Okazaki ... I know what I would choose if it was between having to drive and the Shinkansen + local rail

edit: I autotranslated the visible part of the test, it's indeed a driver's license test

 

awww ... come on! .... stop looking better every day!

btw, she parted her hair the other way, at first I thought the image might be mirrored, but then why would her left eye (our right) be a bit larger, anyway the small mole on her nose proves it isn't mirrored

(btw, she mentions an article, but I see no link to any)

edit:
here is the article (more a infomercial tbh)

this is kinda funny

Miichan is used to going out icognito ... but Tetsuya doesn't bother with that, so they get recognised.
(hiding that orange mop of hair is quite a challenge I guess )

Miichan also say she's kinda spoiled as a lot of (ex)(AKB) members have cosmetic products which they gift to her


Miichan apparently really engaged her tutor mode on All Night Fujiko

Miichan having fun with the girls at All Night Fujiko

btw, Miichan gradcon was 2 years ago already ...
and she's been pretty busy the whole time, doing lots of different things
(and yeah, the fans still want a BluRay)



it's kinda disheartening to realise that of the 15 members here there are only 7 left in AKB two years later

 

I think it's kinda funny how Miichan often talks about herself as kinda uneducated, unrefined and not at all stylish .... and then it turns out she watches arthouse movies and visits art galleries



Tbh I think this is the first time I've seen her use her husbands last name, for fans she'll be always Minegishi I guess and that's the name the general public recognizes

During All Night Fujiko they had a phone roulette where a phone of one of the girls was randomly selected and then checked for the last social media post etc.

Miichan volunteered(?) to do the checking (to make sure it wasn't too embarassing I guess) and it seems the girls were happy with that (and not having one of the male host rumage through their phones)

it seems the girls on the show have a LINE group where they talked about the show's hosts amongst themselves

also one of the regular hosts was absent, so they had the other hosts call someone to replace him.
Miichan called BKB, who iirc was on Mechaike together with AKB one time.
Aanya called Mikichan's husband

they already had a replacement btw. you might rember him from earlier AKBBingo episodes

iirc he licked the chopsticks Miichan used after failing a challenge to excite some guests as a festival girl
Sata "you should have been more sexy!"
Miichan "I'm only 15 you know!"
(Miichan only learning about the licking after she used them)

predictably =>

He did it with another girl's phone later, then had Miichan check it ....
at which Miichan dropped it (wel more like threw it away) ... declaring it smelled, which was 'confirmed' by Aanya and other guests of the show

(Miichan apologized for dropping it on twitter)

some pics from twitter



I think Miichan went to a concert of Maharajan
https://twitter.com/chan__31/status/1662424499537711104

I wonder how people would have reacted if Miichan did the choreography vigorously in the back row

1000 points to the person who can spot Miichan in the audience

(tbh, might have been a completely different performance of course )

and Miichan's manager brings receipts
https://twitter.com/chan_31neganega/status/1662467103113498624
(not sure, but I suspect Tetsuya is next to her)

ow, and it kinda supports my theory that you can wake up AKB members in the dead of night and they'll be able to dance to an AKB track, seeing how it's already 10 months ago the music video got released and Miichan still knows the routine

 

Miichan together with Mikichan manned the stand for her parent's beer pub at Marche~! ... which looked like a trade show

ow, Tetsuya posted about him consistently losing weight since starting his diet.
https://twitter.com/TO_TETSUYA/status/1663699354526547968
Miichan:

but, as you can see in the above pic, Miichan looks fine

ow, Miichan did not go alone

ow and as it was in Nagoya, she (miion) stayed 2 days with her 'mom and dad' in Okazaki

Tetsuya replied:

If I had the tendency to be jealous I would probably completely hate Tetsuya
Miion has turned into one of the cutest AKB members ever imho.

 

Miichan and Tetsuya went to a BlackPink concert
https://twitter.com/TO_TETSUYA/status/1665294597566676993

and yes, Tetsuya is cosplaying Chihiro from Spirited Away

 

Isn't she pretty when she's completely immersed in her reading
https://twitter.com/chan_31neganega/status/1665964387570683905


I remember in her AKB 600 seconds episode she read a manga in a shop and was completely lost in the story, wiping away a tear at the end

 

Miichan appeared on the Spring YouTube channel together with YOU
(I think they answer questions from reader/watchers)


if the video does not show watch the video here

 

I just saw a program where Miichan talked about watching variety programs, not because they are fun, but to see what works

what kinda shows ... being funny is serious work

Miichan posted this
https://twitter.com/chan__31/status/1667137805729042432

鶏肉盗難事件 = Chicken theft incident

Seems she used some chicken from the fridge and Tetsuya was left empty handed when he needed/wanted it

Fujiko all night started posting a series of tweets called 'Minegishi's camera' where Miichan talks to the Fujiko girls

I watched the latest episode of All Night Fujiko.

Some of the girls had a gravure shoot for FLASH magazine, it seems Miichan really has been tasked with mentoring them as she was present as well.
btw, one of the girls called her Miisan
One girl celebrated her 20th birthday and I guess one third of the program centered on her, he had her first alcoholic drink and the 'licking' guy (who by the way was the referee at AKB's janken tournaments as well) invaded her home live, with predictable results

btw, they changed the seating arrangement ... the male hosts used to be on the left of the girls and Miichan and Shige to the right, which kinda meant they did not get all that much screentime, but now the hosts are all located on the left and Miichan's role increased as well

btw, I noticed Shige often talks in the third person about herself

one of the girls was cooking something with chicken and I'm sure someday she'll kill someone with one of her dishes
Miichan told her to check the chicken parts she fried, she cut it open with scissors and it turned out to be still raw inside She then popped it covered in some cheese in the Microwave for about 20 seconds.
Anyway, when she brought it out I noticed Miichan discreetly passed on tasting it

also

all the girls flocking to the bar


In the end Miichan mixed drinks for herself and two of the girls as the bargirl and Kaori-san were kinda overloaded

Miichan and the birthday girl

it kinds flew under my radar but Miichan was part of a TV program where the task was to guess the occupation of someone by inspecting his/her house


it also had Sasshii as a studio guest. (and Fuwa of course, as Sasshii and Fuwa are like Takamina and Kuro-chan)

Miichan told that because she hates rain, Tetsuya bought her an umbrella ..... but she lost it and had to buy a replacement (and I don't think she had the heart to tell him, well, I guess he knows now )

 

It's the 2nd anniversary of Miichan's fanclub today, she did a lifestream announcing some fanclub goods


but we started with a toast on the anniversary .... so I had some sake I still had, just to join in the fun

she talked a bit about her weight, Tetsuya announce on twitter he had reached his target, I guess Miichan is a bit disappointed she didnt loose as much weight as she wanted
(a fan mentioned she didn't rebound like Shiichan though, which is kinda harsh :/ )

 

As there was no all night Fujiko this week Miichan and Tetsuya made a trip to lake Kawaguchi

o, and after that they went to Harry Potter


They must have barely missed Maeda Ami, who was there this week as well (assuming there's just one Harry Potter theme park in Japan)

 

well, this is kinda random


if the video does not show watch the video here


if the video does not show watch the video here

ow, and I think I should know her, she kinda looks like Hikari, but I'm most likely wrong
